Manchester United produced one of their greatest away performances in Europe as they beat PSG on a remarkable night in Paris.

The night swung one way and then the other, from Romelu Lukaku's goal scored within two minutes all the way to Marcus Rashford's controversial late penalty.

That last-gasp winner, awarded with the generous assistance of VAR, sent United through on away goals, with a 3-1 win on the night.

The 2-0 reverse at Old Trafford remains United's only defeat in the Ole Gunnar Solskjaer era, and surely the Norwegian is now set to take permanent charge this summer.
